Electronic Control Unit Malfunction
Indicator
Kohler EFI Units Only:
The electronic control unit (ECU) continuously
monitors operation of the EFI system. If a problem
or fault within the system is detected, the malfunction
indicator light (MIL) is illuminated. The MIL is the
light located in the right console panel to the right of
the throttle control. Follow the troubleshooting steps
outlined in the Kohler engine operator's manual if the
MIL is illuminated.

Pre-Start

Fill fuel tank on level ground. For best results use
only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating of 87 or higher.
Important: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing more
than 10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white
gas because the fuel system could be damaged.
Do Not add oil to gasoline.
Do Not overfill fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank to the
bottom of the filler neck. The empty space in the
tank allows gasoline to expand. Overfilling may result
in fuel leakage or damage to the engine or emission
system.
Make sure you understand the controls, their
locations, their functions, and their safety
requirements.
3. Non-latching position
Refer to the Maintenance section and perform all the
necessary inspection and maintenance steps.
